Elphaba Bracelet

Estimated retail $3-$4k

In a sea of classic diamond tennis bracelet designs, own a bracelet with high attention to design and detail. An exclusive bracelet from an award-winning fine jewelry designer, Fei Liu. He founded his company in 2006 and is acknowledged in: Harper’s Bazaar China Jewellery Designer of the Year, the Lonmin Design Innovation Award, and the Choice Award Jewellery London International Jewellery Awards Finalist. His designs were also selected to be part of world traveled exhibitions, representing the U.K. National Association of Jewellers.

Fei Liu creates his jewelry pieces with his five values of jewelry: “design value, artisanal value, material value, emotional value and cultural value.” As he has been quoted, “While my jewelry is a vehicle for my self-expression, it is also intended to bring more beauty, meaning and emotional fulfillment to people." 

The Elphaba bracelet is part of his Whispering Collection, his inspiration was specific to the Orchid flower, a representation of luxury, beauty, and strength. In my opinion, it reminds me of a prolific branch with fruits of acorns. I am a great fan of the slight color differences and random patterning between the pearls and the tsavorite garnets – as nature is truly unique.
